Healthy mind in a healthy body. Garden, bike, jog and swim. The magic bullet is writing about it all so when I'm eighty-something I can read back over the days I'll have forgotten.
Super morning in Youghal for Christmas #parkrun and a sneaky PB. Easterly wind not so nice. Everything else was.

No club Winter League this week so I went solo along by the harbour. Mince pie well earned. 🎄⭐
Ready now festive few days before Saturday #parkrun.

Winter miles make summer smiles. But we were just a bit rusty after a month off. Not to worry. Winter is also the time to slow down and go easy. 50k today, great company and tasty mince pies.

Wexford Parkrun 473

Highlights 20th December 2025: Very blustery. The kind of wind that rearranges your thoughts as well as your hair. If I had hair. Southerly wind but it suited because the headwind on each lap was on the downhill and tailwind for the last kilometre. Ideal A necessary nature…

Southerly wind but it suited because the headwind on each lap was on the downhill and tailwind for the last kilometre. Ideal A necessary nature break after lap one (needs must — even Garmin understands). Patchwork of jerseys: Wexford pride, marathon badges of honour, Ray D’Arcy cameos, Fleadh Cheoil memories — a moving gallery in Lycra.

I was complaining about the weather, then this happens at Bondi Beach. A sobering reminder of what really matters. Thinking of the victims and their families. Let us unite rather than divide.

Oh, Russbourough... You were so delightful. Pity about the rain. #parkrun in The Garden of Ireland.
Six minutes slower. Too much talk about weather conditions and the local athletics scene.

My two new blogs: one for gardening, the other for cycling and #running (in reality, a slow shuffle). Writing nurtures me.

Here it is. My first Bluesky whatever. Surely we don't can these tweets? What are they called?
Today's #Wexford Parkrun was the best start to my day. After that it just got better. Any other #parkrun participants elsewhere today?
